PKA-binding (AKB) domain of A Kinase Anchor Protein 10 AKAPs coordinate the specificity of PKA signaling by facilitating the localization of the kinase to subcellular sites through their binding to regulatory (R) subunits of PKA. AKAP-10, also called PRKA10 or Dual-specific AKAP 2 (D-AKAP2), is a multisubunit protein containing two regulator of G protein signaling (RGS)-like domains and a PKA-binding (AKB) domain. The AKB domain of AKAP10 can bind to the dimerization/docking (D/D) domains of both RI and RII regulatory subunits of PKA. This model also includes a C-terminal PDZ-binding motif that binds to PDZK1 and NHERF-1, allowing AKAP10 to link indirectly to membrane proteins. Mutations in AKAP10 can alter its binding to R subunits, which may alter the targeting of PKA; some AKAP10 mutations are associated with abnormalities including hypertension, increased risk of severe arrhythmias during kidney transplantation, and familial breast cancer.
